PlayStation-exclusive Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag content stars AC3: Liberation heroine

Aveline look at this.

The star of Ubisoft's PlayStation Vita spin-off Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation will return in PlayStation versions of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, the developer has confirmed.

Aveline de Grandpré's story will be continued in three new missions developed just for the game's PS3 and PS4 versions, Kotaku reported. PC, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners will miss out.

Ubisoft previously confirmed that PS3 and PS4 editions of the game would get extra content totalling around an hour's extra gameplay. It's a similar deal to the Sony-exclusive Benedict Arnold storyline in Assassin's Creed 3 and the Copernicus side-story in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

What exactly the missions entail remains under wraps, as does the timing of where they will fit in to Aveline's existing storyline (Black Flag's main story is set two generations prior to that of Assassin's Creed 3).

Ubisoft has yet to announce a PlayStation Vita spin-off for this year's Assassin's Creed - which by now probably means that there isn't one coming.
